Wouldn't life be easier if a magic calorie-burning pill did exist? One that has zero side effects and is actually good for you?
Just think about it -- if a pill like this were available, we could enjoy all of the fabulous food our country has to offer minus the extra weight and the hefty serving of guilt that comes with over indulging.
Unfortunately, this pill hasn't been invented -- yet. Which means we actually have to do something -- eat less or workout more -- in order to keep off the pounds.
And while you know you can clock more hours at the gym or cut your serving sizes in half to shed those hardest-to-lose last 10 pounds, there are a few minor tweaks you can make to your current weight loss diet and exercise routine to help you burn a few extra calories.
To come up with these sneaky calorie burning and trimming tips, we spoke to fitness and lifestyle consultant Ashley Borden. She says that in addition to the few "old school" practices of "walking your dog more often, parking further away, and taking the stairs," there are other easy ways to burn more calories in order to lose those last few pounds. Though these weight loss diet and exercise suggestions may seem minor, they add up quickly. So keep reading. After all, bikini season is just around the corner ...
I recently cut pop/soda (again) and have replaced that with water with sliced cucumbers, lemons and mint leaves. This is a wonderful drink as not only does it detox and help you lose weight but it also helps clear your complexion. 2 birds one stone.

great tips overall, but i laughed a little at the chopsticks tip - i eat way faster with chopsticks than forks!

Like the rebounder and working out at work. Don't like the chopstick idea though

I prefer Splenda to Stevia. The cinnamon seems interesting. I'm going to look into the rolling excercises.
